I recently played these 2 videos consecutively for my cousin. He began as an '80s metal fan. He's matured in to some other more psychedelic stuff. I played the Dylan video which is enthralling, really. Then cued up The Fat Man and said, "now here's the same tune with the joy that Garcia could bring to a song....". No lie, he actually applauded the video.

I MUST add. I have been working on this guy for a long time. Playing awesome live Who, Stones and whatever else he was willing to try. When the hour got late and he was adequately hammered, I'd play some GD. Like H2H or Good Mornin' Little School Girl or a ripping Loser. He's a Johnny Cash fan so Big River worked and then I'd play Mama Tried and El Paso which he recognized from his dad's collection. So it was rewarding to see him applaud the JGB video. He's really come a long way.

You all know him as my cousin from Turlock. He's also an Arbuthnot fanatic.
